The lines came off my car and are lightly used, all 8an aqp startlite lines and fittings/hose ends. The Fore f10 filter is new with the reusable stainless steel element and orb to 8an fittings to plumb it in, all e85 compatible. At the hat it has the oem style quick disconnect fitting installed and for the rail has the larger inner diameter efi fitting. This setup is ready to go on and easy to install using the stock line routing and filter mounting location. Will drop duty cycle 20%+ depending on setup.

$250 shipped

Info on the Fore filter and ss element.

Just curious why did you switch them out. Very interested thanks

I wanted to test fit the ptfe ss braid line before I started selling it to make sure it fit nicely using the same routing as the bend radius/characteristics is different than the startlite line. No sense in swapping lines a thrid time so I added the new filter and a few fittings to make a ready to install kit with these lines.

It will, fits nicely. I did this swap to verify awhile ago before I even started the sale thread in my section offering both types of line. I'm just now getting around to putting these up for sale with the new filter. I dont like to make customers the guinea pig for anything I sell so I always test it myself first! :highfive:

On stock fuel rails is this a direct replacement then. All the way from fuel rail back to the tank is that correct.

Correct with the efi fitting this will hook right up to stock rails or any aftermarket rail that would work with the stock line. The first line runs from the rail down into the fender well and under the car to the the fuel filter and then the other line runs from the fuel filter up the gas tank and connects dirrectly to the fuel hat with the oem style push lock fitting.

Except me <cough cough> lol

Btw the walbro 405 is holding up beautifully at 505hp. Getting ready to turn it up as soon as we get a couple issues figured out. Pushing that pump to 560+ hopefully.

I'll be getting in touch with you for line upgrades then.

lol I put twin 300lph+ pumps on my car first, still there actually ran them on one fpdm as well. I think you got the second or third setup I built. I have learned to tailor my kits to work for a wide variety of setups and tuner abilities since then. I wish the dcss pumps had come out earlier as I would have one in my car. Great results let me know how far it gets ya, always looking for feedback and different results/setups. Most I have seen is 620ish rwhp so far. With a bap and some supporting mods you can run 700+ on that pump which is amazing.

Got it today Jeremy. I'm sure the line is long enough, but looks short.

You will have about a foot to spare, you only need around 9 feet tops but I put 10 in the kit to be safe.
